Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of steam turbine technology, and in particular to a steam turbine rotor dynamic balancing correction mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the power industry, the requirements for the operational stability and reliability of steam turbines, as core power equipment, have been increasing. As a key component of the steam turbine, the rotor, if unbalanced during high-speed rotation, can lead to increased equipment vibration, accelerated bearing wear, and even serious accidents. Therefore, rotor dynamic balancing has become a crucial step in manufacturing and maintenance. Currently, balancing is typically performed using a balancing machine, which calculates the mass and location of counterweights to be added or removed by measuring the unbalanced vibration signal during rotor rotation, thereby achieving balance correction.
[0003] Currently, before using a balancing machine to perform dynamic balancing tests on the rotor, a crucial preparatory step must be completed: thoroughly cleaning the support wheels inside the turbine support base on the balancing machine track. This cleaning process is essential because only by ensuring that the surface of the support wheels is spotless can dust and impurities prevent adverse effects on the test when they come into contact with and rotate with the rotor surface. If the support wheel surface is contaminated with dust or impurities, these tiny particles may alter the actual operating state of the rotor during the dynamic balancing test, thereby interfering with the accuracy of the test data and ultimately reducing the precision of the dynamic balancing correction. Summary of the Invention This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, embodiments of this invention provide a turbine rotor dynamic balancing correction mechanism, which can clean the support wheels and ensure the accuracy of dynamic balancing correction.
[0004] This invention provides a turbine rotor dynamic balancing correction mechanism, including a support base, a lifting frame, support wheels, and a cleaning mechanism. The support base is located below the turbine shaft; the lifting frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support base; two support wheels are provided and rotatably connected to the lifting frame, with the two support wheels arranged side by side, their axes parallel to each other and on the same horizontal plane, and the turbine shaft rotatably supported above the two support wheels; the cleaning mechanism is located at the bottom of each support wheel to remove dust adhering to the wheel surface.
[0005] In some embodiments, the lifting frame includes a support beam, a hydraulic cylinder, and two adjusting frames. The support beam is slidably connected between the two adjusting frames.

The cylinder rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support beam and drives the support beam to move in the vertical direction. The support wheel is rotatably connected to the support beam and located between the two adjusting frames.
[0006] In some embodiments, the adjusting frame has a vertical adjusting hole, and the two sides of the support beam are slidably connected to the adjusting hole by adjusting screws. The adjusting screws pass through the adjusting hole in the horizontal direction. When the support beam slides to the designated position, the adjusting screws are locked onto the adjusting frame by nuts.

[0008] In some embodiments, a wheel groove is provided above the support beam, and a support wheel is rotatably connected in the wheel groove. A cleaning groove is provided below the wheel groove, and a cleaning mechanism is disposed in the cleaning groove.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0016] The turbine rotor dynamic balancing correction mechanism of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of the invention proposes a turbine rotor dynamic balancing correction mechanism, including a support base 2, a lifting frame, support wheels 5, and a cleaning mechanism 13. The support base 2 is located below the turbine shaft; the lifting frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support base 2; two support wheels 5 are provided and rotatably connected to the lifting frame, the two support wheels 5 are arranged side by side, the axis lines of the two support wheels 5 are parallel to each other and on the same horizontal plane, and the turbine shaft is rotatably supported above the two support wheels 5; the cleaning mechanism 13 is located at the bottom of each support wheel 5 to remove dust adhering to the wheel surface of the support wheel 5.
[0018] In this embodiment of the invention, a cleaning mechanism 13 is provided to remove dust adhering to the surface of the support wheel 5, ensuring the accuracy of dynamic balance correction. A lifting frame is provided to adjust the vertical position of the support wheel 5 to align it with the turbine shaft.
[0019] It should be noted that the turbine shaft is driven to rotate by drive mechanism 1.
[0020] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the lifting frame includes a support beam 4, a hydraulic cylinder 10, and two adjusting frames 6. The support beam 4 is slidably connected between the two adjusting frames 6. The cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support base 2. The cylinder rod of the hydraulic cylinder 10 extends and retracts upward. The cylinder rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support beam 4 and drives the support beam 4 to move in the vertical direction. The support wheel 5 is rotatably connected to the support beam 4 and is located between the two adjusting frames 6.
[0021] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , 3As shown, the adjustment frame 6 has a vertical adjustment hole 11. The two sides of the support beam 4 are slidably connected to the adjustment hole by the adjustment screw 8. The adjustment screw 8 passes through the adjustment hole 11 in the horizontal direction. When the support beam 4 slides to the designated position, the adjustment screw 8 is locked on the adjustment frame 6 with a nut.
[0022] By using the adjusting screw 8, the support beam 4 can slide vertically, and the nut can be used to provide auxiliary support for the support beam 4.
[0023] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the adjusting screw 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating handle 7. This facilitates tightening the adjusting screw 8.
[0024] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a wheel groove is provided above the support beam 4, and the support wheel 5 is rotatably connected in the wheel groove. A cleaning groove 12 is provided below the wheel groove, and the cleaning mechanism 13 is located in the cleaning groove 12.
[0025] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a support block 9 is fixedly connected between the top of the cylinder rod and the support beam 4. The support block 9 is disc-shaped, and its outer diameter is larger than that of the cylinder rod. This increases the area of the bearing surface and improves the support effect.
[0026] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 13 includes a rubber scraper 131 and a support 132. The support 132 is detachably and fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 12. A slot is provided on the top of the support 132. The rubber scraper 131 is inserted into the slot and fixed in the slot in the horizontal direction by bolts and nuts. The top of the rubber scraper 131 abuts against the wheel surface of the support wheel 5 to remove the dust attached to the wheel surface of the support wheel 5 during the rotation of the support wheel 5. The width of the rubber scraper 131 is equal to the width of the wheel surface of the support wheel 5.
[0027] In some embodiments, the support 132 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the cleaning tank 12 by bolts.
[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the rubber scraper 131 has symmetrically arranged inclined surfaces on both sides. Regardless of whether the support wheel 5 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the surface of the support wheel 5 can be effectively cleaned.
[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the turbine rotor dynamic balancing correction mechanism also includes a track 3, and several support seats 2 are provided and slidably connected to the upper end of the track 3. Each support seat 2 is connected to a set of lifting frames, support wheels 5 and cleaning mechanism 13. The position of the support seats 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs. If the shaft is long, multiple support seats 2 can be set to support the shaft.
